I forgot the recipe:
Standard Nymph Hook (14-18 work best for me)
Spirit River Gold or Copper bead to match hook size
Prismatic gold tinsel for ribbing
Cheek fur for tail.
Spirit River Dazeltron cream color for body (or use under fur from cheek area)
Hair plucked from Hare's ear dubbed onto thread and wrapped into a hair hackle collar behind the bead.
Slide on bead, lash on ribbing, tie on tail and wrap hair clear to bead then trim, go back to bend and dub body to bead, wrap tinsel to bead, pull out tuft of short black hair from ear and align their hairs vertically with the thread and dub it on, wrap it behind the bead (it will flare) then take a cut off tooth brush and brush it buggy.

Here is a link to my version of the BHGRHE (Bead Head Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear) You will see pictures of the fly, a group of step by step pictures along with pictures of the materials, and a gallery of fish this fly caught on a particular day (no, it doesn't ALWAYS work that well). It is a quick and easy tie, very versatile and it actually USES Hair from the Hare's ear. I've caught fish on it on the dead drift, the swing, and stripping it like a minnow. It looks very buggy when wet, so I included a picture of a wet fly.
